Yep, it has been awhile since last blog !! - - - So much so, that I have forgotten how to use this new software for blogging to my Website. ** It is Re-learn time **.

A new kid in the block, Noah Stokes Fernandez, don't have his birthday yet, … a grand nephew, 1 of 32 grand nephew & nieces.

Did some traveling, .. actually it was continiuing the trip on the last blog, on my way home.

Stopped at Brother Gerardus in San Marcos, was house sitting, while he and wife Rose were gone on a cruise from Miami to the Mediterranean, celebrating their 50th anniversary.   Got to watch my niece Claris play beach volleyball. Now don’t ask how I got that double iPhone Live Shot using my iPhone. And that was around 22 Mar 2019. It plays in my preview, but maybe not play when I publish this blog.

 While in San Marcos, visited with God-Son Andrew in San Diego, far left. And a good time was had by all. His step mom fixed a great dinner.

On my way home stopped in Carlsbad State Beach, and got the last RV spot for Bigfoot and Littlefoot.

Continuing homeward, stopped in Los Angeles, and visited with college buddies. Reminiscing the good times we had in younger days. Erma (Dr Germ), Mike (Deacon), John O (Dr Sleeper), John I (Maxi), and Rouel (Beefer).

Erma, was my roomate for a year or so then she went off to medical school, became a dermatologist.

Mike was a Radiation Physicist then became a Deacon. Once I accompanied  Mike while he made his rounds at a hospital. Using a guitar he blessed gave communion, and sang wirth patients and families as only latin americans can appreciate, the old spanish songs.

John O, also went to medical school and became an Anesthesiologist.

John I, majored in Biology and did some such work for the state of Calif. Once I went with him on a field trip he had to do for work, we camped by a creek near the pacific ocean, and we caught, got statistics (size, weight, quantity, etc) and released endagered Stikleback Pup fish. A state study to protect the then endangered Stikleback Pup fish in the area.

Me I became a Physicist, specialized in growing thin film single crystal multilayer devices for research. And missing is Nancy, she became a medical technician specializing in blood bank.

And after 40+ yrs, we are still at it, behaving like in younger days. and … on some days 2 to 30 text messages pass our group text. Yep, we still got it !!

When coming or going to southern Calif always stop and hangout in Pismo Beach. Definitely one of my favorite places to spend time. At left downtown Pismo Beach, 6 Apr 2019.

Why take photos ? … to review, to reminisce where I have been. … And the photos tell the story, I Have been living the "great life", that was the retirement plan !!
